NYCC 09: Robot Chicken Runs Wild on Comic Con

Seth Green and his collaborators hint at what's to come.

Fans of the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network were treated to a raucous , profanity-laced panel (no surprise) that answered questions about the show's creative process as well as providing a few details of what we have to look forward to in the future. In a style that can only be described as controlled chaos, the show's co-creator and executive producer Seth Green and writer/actor Breckin Meyer led the panel and told humorous stories about how the show is put together.

The panelists didn't want to give away many details about the second half of season four, however they did reveal that the show had just purchased a big box of MASK toys, which should make for a very entertaining sketch.

Seth Green also revealed that he had seriously batted around ideas for a feature-length Robot Chicken film, although nothing was currently in the works. On a related note, when asked if there were any more themed episodes (like the popular Star Wars specials) coming up, he answered a definitive "maybe."

The good news is that they did screen the opening credits for the upcoming "Robot Chicken Full-Assed Christmas Special " to accompany the "Robot Chicken Half-Assed Christmas Special" done a few years ago. The very funny credits were a parody of a James Bond film's credit sequence, but with toy character silhouettes instead of the usual Bond babes.

Currently in the midst of its 4th season, the show will air its final new episode this Sunday (February 8th) before taking a short break. Robot Chicken will then return on April 26th with the first of 10 new episodes.
